THOH XXVIII Prize Guide: Act 3, Prize 3 Skinner Box Kite

Fall has arrived and there’s a haze over our Springfield’s, that can only mean one thing….it’s Halloween in our pocket-sized towns! This year EA’s thrown a little magic into the mix, with an Angelica Button theme invading our towns. We’ve got beasts to battle, creatures to capture, wizards to wand wave and goblin gold to gather! Quite a few alliteration altercations huh?

This Event is broken up into 3 Acts, with each Acts containing part of the story. To help you move along with the event you’ll get several prizes per Act. Each prize will either be something fun for Springfield or something to help you move along in the event. For the third act, you’re tasked with collecting Toad Princes () to unlock each prize!

The third act 3 Prize awarded at 7,800is the Skinner Box Kite, because Skinner always looks better in the air…

So let’s take a closer look at this third prize and just what happens when you unlock it in your Springfield…

Once you’ve collected 7,800 you’ll automatically be awarded the kite and you’ll see this message popup:

And you’ll have the option to place the kite in your Springfield or store it in your inventory for later.

Once placed in Springfield it does come with a tiny bit of dialogue…

Bart: That box kite is a perfect depiction of Principal Skinner. A big square! And oddly mesmerizing to watch.

And that’s pretty much it, place it and move on.

Let’s move onto the quick details of the Kite…

Size: 2×3Earns: Nada. Right now just a decoration, maybe in the future it’ll come back for donuts and they’ll slap a bonus % on it. Until then…it’s just a kite.
Conform-O-Meter: Vanity +100Other Info: Animated when tapped…arms and legs wave in the wind. Also always animated, sways slightly

And there you have it, the details behind the Skinner Box kite, the third 2017 THOH Act 3 prize!

What’s Next?

Slithers- Awarded at 13,00. This will be the next prize we break down in the prize guide post.

What are your thoughts on the Box Kite? Safe to assume you’ve unlocked it by now? Where have you placed it in your Springfield? Sound off in the comments below, you know we love hearing from you!

I’m glad it wasn’t just me! When I went to place it from inventory, it seemed as if it just went *poof*, but then triggered a task for Burns. I didn’t even notice that the towers had a different skin applied to them.

I called EA 7 times the first time the guy says xan i put you on hold briefly? I said sure after 45 minutes i hung up called .I was also promised compensation of dohnuts but ever recieved any.before my lair miraculously showed up covering my cooling towere at the nuclear power plant. FYI those folks are the rudest ever. Hope you get your missing item soon.

This has been an odd event in that I’ve “finished” the event in that I’ve received Dracula. But I’m still doing the quest line related to Montymort. That pretty much means the opportunity for bonuts is rather limited.

Yeah, I’m pretty annoyed. I’ve got Dracula but probably won’t get Montymort until Saturday or Sunday which means all the event currency I earn for the next few days is wasted and I’ve already got more goblin gold than I know what to do with.

So I had to contact EA support for the game. I finished the prize track for Act 3 and I didn’t get the last two prizes. Now I didn’t finish battling Lord Montymort ( so far I’m 2/3 ). Maybe I need to defeat Lord Montymort to earn Lord Montymort’s Lair and dracula? I’m asking here in hopes someone has defeated Lord Montymort and can tell me they have received these last two prize items. Thanks in advance for any feedback.

This is the most useless decoration of the entire event, IMHO. This animation should have been built into a character’s task, e.g., a task for Bart to fly the Skinner box kite, that shows him holding the string.

No context on how this relates to Halloween too. It would he nice if one or two of these decorations provided bonus. Even half a percent adds up over time. If you grind to get the prize up the reward a little EA…
